Lazio, Zaccagni: Napoli strongest in league, Neres a real threat | OneFootball

The armband demands courage and intellectual honesty. On the eve of the big match that will kick off 2026 at the Olimpico, Mattia Zaccagni doesn’t hide and charts the path for his Lazio. The Biancocelesti captain acknowledges the strength of the opponent, bluntly defining Napoli as “probably the strongest team in the league,” but for this very reason, he rallies the team to give the fans a night to remember.

Lazio, the captain rallies the troops: “Let’s shake off the anger from Udine, let’s beat Napoli”

Speaking to the club’s official channels, the winger analyzed the dangers of the clash against Conte’s men: “Napoli has important individuals and plays well. The biggest threat? In recent weeks, I’ve been really impressed by David Neres.” Words of respect that, however, do not diminish his desire for revenge: “It would be great, for us and for the fans, to start strong right away with a win.”

His thoughts inevitably turn to the lingering bitterness from the frustrating draw in Udine, a bitter pill that Zaccagni wants to turn into fuel: “There’s anger and regret, but as the coach told us, we have to erase those last 30 seconds and build on the good things we did before.” Finally, a look at his personal goals in a crucial year: “I’ll work hard to bring joy to Lazio fans and for the great Azzurri dream: I want to go to the World Cup with the national team.”
